Is it possible to tell them we don't freaking care about the marketplace, can you get the group replays working ASAP?


One of those makes Blizzard money, the other does not. I think they are going to focus on the one that makes them money.

Marketplace and microtransactions higher up on "the list" than stupid basic stuff like clans, group replay, and being able to watch pro games on their client? Are they short on cash or something? Why not just release another special edition mount if that's the case?

I sort of wish Valve would make an SC clone.

Hey, blizzard, thanks for the great game!

Now, lets talk about your shitty support....

I really hope more and more companies produce really really excellent games tailored towards eSPORTS. I really feel like the (relative) lack of competition for blizzard is really hurting everyone.

(I'm looking at you BUNGIE!)

And force you to install a store on your computer to play their game?

wait... are they charging for blizzard dota now? it's going to be released with / on the marketplace?

they said last year at blizzcon 2010 that all 4 mods, left2die, starjeweled, aiur chef and blizzard all-stars would be released for free...


Nothing's been confirmed on that. It's just speculation right now whether or not we'll be charged for it.

These Blizzard Q&As make me freaking depressed, it's like they dedicate their entire support team to WoW or something.

The exact same thing. I love Steam to death and think it is awesome. I am just pointing out that Valve does a lot of the stuff it does for free because they install a store on your PC and then make money off you buying stuff.

Blizzard is looking for some of that. Money coming in after release means better support for a given game.

So basically, over the year and a half that features community has asked for again and again, Blizzard has yet to implement and have not even begun to implement? WHAT? Meanwhile they do trivial things like change APM to a meaningless number and remove losses from ladder statistics instead of implementing decade-old features that would vastly improve the longevity of the game for people of all skill levels. /smackforehead

Maybe you don't know this but Blizzard has this game called WoW that 11 million people subscribe to making Blizzard the most profitable developer in the gaming industry. They don't need micro transactions from SC2 to implement features that require minimal resource investment and time investment.

Not impressed with the new units, not impressed that they haven't fixed/removed much of what I don't like about this game (marauders,roaches,colossus, force field, thor, etc), and not impressed with this Q.A..

C'mon Blizzard, you can do better than this Hopefully they have more encouraging developments before HotS drops.

I don't mind not having lan. It's not 'fucking stupid.'

It's nice that they're thinking of doing a lan-esque thing for the leagues, but for general audience LAN is not needed at all.

Even if it's not opened for the general consumer (But it should be), they should at the very least implement it for tournaments. And seriously, for them to sit there and say 'we know there are huge issues, but we have no plans to do anything about it, no matter how simple, easy, and probably incredibly cheap it would be' is just incredibly insulting to both the community and e-sports. What we're seeing here is Blizzard doing basically nothing in their power to support e-sports at all. And in fact, due to their strict policy on broadcasting rights (Though that's more the fault of stupid US copyright laws) and the whole ad revenue thing, it's almost like they're trying to stifle e-sports on purpose.

So yeah, it's fucking stupid.

have they ever actually stated the reason they won't add lan?

i understand it's probably because of piracy, but have they ever actually admitted that it's all about the dosh? or are we at the stage where they've hyped up bnet 2.0 so much that they actually are starting to believe their own propaganda

So they basically said absolutely nothing !!!

I mean all the questions were answered maybe, but maybe not. Its on a list though.

Yeah well I have a list an it says I want so have sex with over 100 girls, travel the world over 30 days and be a spokesman for some of the issues of humanity it doesn't really mean anything though as it may or may not happen.

If Blizzard is a smart company, which they are, they will not use profits from one game to fund continued support for another. Software support, patching and new features are time consuming and costly to make. The majority of program is not building the specific feature, it is make sure it does not break.

I still don't see why SC2 (WoL, HotS, LotV) doesn't include LAN capabilities.

The success of SC:BW was in large due to the LAN capabilities it included, making it completely non-dependent on internet, which was actually quite slow way back when. I guess the naturally faster internet speeds have made Blizzard decide BNet is better?

I also wish they would clean up attacking A.I. a bit: (I'm a Zerg player, so I'll use Zerg examples)

"A unit's within sight range and I can attack it? Better 'run' on over to kill it, it's not like I can be attacked AT ALL during that time!" -Queen

"A unit's walled in due to minerals/natural walls? Better charge straight at it with everyone pushing me towards it! LEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOY! JEEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIIIINS! " -Zergling

"Oh hey, there's a unit walled in due to minerals/natural walls! OK, I'll go around like you ordered me. Oh hey, there's that same unit I saw, better head ALL THE WAY BACK so I can attack it instead of the unit that was directly in front of me!" -Zergling #2

Activision Blizzard revenue: $4.768 billion per year (US dollars per year) (trailing 12-month value as of June 30, 2011)

Valve's isn't half of that.
